Apple breathes life into iPhone with major OS update

Apple might not have kept the hardware innovation coming with its iPhone products as quickly as
some users would have liked but has flexed its software muscles to show that it can improve the
experience on its smart phones.

The vendor unveiled iOS 7 at its developers conference last night, with
the vendor describing it as the most important software update since the phone was originally
launched.

A cleaner look to the user interface, overseen by the vendor's in-house design guru Jony Ive, is
also accompanied by improvements to its Safari, multitasking and photo functions.

“iOS 7 is the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone,” said Craig Federighi,
Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “To create it, we brought together a team
with a broad range of expertise from design to engineering. With what we’ve been able to achieve
together, we see iOS 7 as an exciting new beginning.”

The vendor also used the keynote to show off an iTunes radio service that will allow users to
stream music and Maverick, the next OS for its Mac computers, as well as a range of laptops that
will be based on Intel Haswell processors.

This week, IndependenceIT unveiled the 4.0 version of Cloud Workspace Suite, which features a number of enhancements; Knowledge Vault launched a partner program for its cloud-based analytics-as-a-service platform; and more.
